SPCache=value

Parameter

Description

value

A number that specifies how many stored procedures are added to a cache that contains information about each stored procedure’s parameters. To turn off caching, specify 0.

Default

SPCache=50 (ADO.NET), SPCache=100 (others)

Usage

By default, the driver retrieves information from the server about a stored procedure’s parameters the first time the stored procedure is called and caches that information. The next time the procedure is called, the driver retrieves the information from the cache to improve performance. The information is retrieved based on the stored procedure’s name. The name is case sensitive.

If you call two different stored procedures with the same name, you can turn off caching by setting the value of SPCache to 0.
